✦ Synopsis

Ionizing radiation strongly influences the chemical and conformational properties of biological macromolecules,'*2 and also, some biological macromolecules, such as proteins, form a h~drogel?-~ Since the radiation-induced sol-gel transition of protein poses a problem of considerable interest, it was considered desirable to study the effects of radiation on the flow and melting properties. The protein used in this work was gelatin since it was described in a previous article?
